Jack & Diane

Lyrics

John Mellencamp

A little ditty 'bout Jack & DianeTwo American kids growing up in the heart landJack - he's gonna be a football starDiane - debutante in the back seat of Jacky's carSuckin' on chilli dog outside the Tastee FreezDiane sitting on Jacky's lapGot his hands between her kneesJack - he says:"Hey, Diane, let's run off behind a shady treeDribble off those bobby brooksLet me do what I please." Saying oh yeah Life goes on, long after the thrill of living is goneSayin' oh yeah Life goes on, long after the thrill of living is goneNow walk onJack - he sits back, collects his thoughts for a momentScratches his head, and does his best James DeanWell, now then, there, Diane, we ought to run off to the cityDiane says: "Baby, you ain't missing nothing."But Jack - he says:"Oh yeah, life goes on, long after the thrill of living is gone."Oh yeahHe says: "life goes on, long after the thrill of living is gone."Oh, let it rock, let it rollLet the bible belt come and save my soulHoldin' on to sixteen as long as you canChange is coming 'round real soon Make us woman and manOh yeah, life goes onA little ditty 'bout Jack and DianeTwo American kids doin' the best they can
